How does millimeter wave (MMW) technology—central to the future of telecommunications and advanced medical applications—actually interact with human skin? 📱🩺![]()
Traditional electromagnetic safety and dosing models often assume the skin is perfectly flat. However, our skin is naturally undulating and complex. To bridge this gap, the latest study of the SeaWave Project introduces a novel methodological framework that uses Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Ultrasound (US) imaging to construct realistic 3D human skin models.![]()

đź’ˇ Key Findings:![]()
- The "Flat Model" Flaw: Natural skin roughness and the undulations of the dermoepidermal junction significantly alter MMW energy absorption patterns at 27.5 GHz compared to traditional planar models.![]()
- Anatomical Variations Matter: Testing across different sites (volar forearm, hypothenar, and fingertip) revealed that local electric field distributions change based on the specific site's geometry.![]()
- Clinical Implications: Incorporating these high-fidelity 3D geometries drastically enhances dosimetric accuracy—crucial for both telecommunications safety assessments and optimizing MMW-based medical treatments.![]()
- Cancer Research Extension: The framework was also applied to a nodular basal cell carcinoma case, revealing distinct changes in reflected power and local field distributions compared to healthy skin.![]()

This research was a collaborative effort bringing together expertise in cutting-edge imaging and electromagnetic simulation. Incredible work by the teams at AUTH, IT'IS Foundation and CHUV / Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois.![]()
By moving toward individualized MMW dosimetry, we can ensure safer tech integration and more precise medical innovations.![]()
